In a recent government meeting, the Planning Department presented a request for a conditional use permit for a concrete crushing, storage, and batch plant proposed by Crushing It Inc. The facility is planned for a site located at the intersection of South 13th Street and Capehart Road in Sarpy County, Nebraska. The case, identified as CUP2407-01, was discussed following a brief update from the Planning Department, which noted that previous technical engineering issues had been resolved.

The Planning Department recommended approval of the request, highlighting that the applicant had addressed a technical deficiency related to the drainage report. However, the applicant must still improve the turn lane on Capehart Road, pending approval from the Nebraska Department of Transportation, before commencing operations. Additionally, the applicant is working on obtaining a core permit for the construction of necessary restroom facilities on-site.

During the public hearing segment, no community members came forward to provide testimony, either in support or opposition to the project. A commissioner raised concerns regarding dust suppression measures, specifically whether they would be implemented outside of operational hours, particularly during high wind conditions. The applicant's representative confirmed that dust suppression would primarily occur during operational hours, with potential measures taken in response to environmental conditions.

Following the discussions, the commissioners expressed readiness to proceed with a motion regarding the permit request. The meeting underscored the ongoing dialogue between local government, applicants, and the community regarding development projects and their implications for the surrounding environment.
